This is a different penanace, not one of those uninterupting one. They are showing shortcut penance, unkown to us. Will wait & watch this entire process of different tests for each Monday.
Parvati is chanting Om Namah Shivaya, and Narada appears chanting Narayan, Narayan. I know it's Narada being Narada, but how distracting I was thinking that she wouldn't budge, but then she opens her eyes and starts asking him questions. Isn't she supposed to be meditating, and being uninterruptable?
